Lost In The Crowd

Drowning

Noah's POV

Sitting on my widow seat I watched the rain fall, It was Fall. The time of year when Rain turns to snow. It calmed me down. it was ah hour after dinner when I should be doing homework but instead was watching Rain, like it was a T.V I gave my full attention. seeing my phone light up in the corner of my eye I sighed reaching for it. it was the group chat I have with friends from school. they wanted me to go to a party with them, I personally didn't want to go. I didn't want to leave my bedroom like always, but I already blew them off a whole week, they must already think somethings up. so I had to go. Letting them know, I got up, got ready. Left my room with my phone and keys along with my wallet to see that my father left a note on the fridge I didn't see when I got home

-going to be home late, love ya kiddo-

without a second look I threw it out as I left the house, I was told where my Friends were picking me up, so I walked in the rain to where they said. where they were waiting. I seen Daniel, of course I seen Daniel first.. he stood beside the car talking through the window as he smiled and waved at me "Aye look who it is" he chuckled and there, that right there. melted my heart. I got in the back with Daniel and Zach, who really shouldn't even be coming to said party since hes younger. but hey, who am I to judge. I sat in the middle kinda awkwardly as I felt both shoulders on mine. but as soon as we got to the house party I was set free...

The whole time I was sitting alone, too many people, loud music and annoying ass Guys who tired to get girls attentions..when, nothing worked out. ever. I kinda groaned as I scanned the kitchen where I sat with multiple people I didn't even know.  I jumped a bit when I felt a hand on my shoulder "chill dude! come on, have some fun. you don't have to drink, you just look like you dog just died" Daniel pulled me off the stool I sat on and brought me to the pool out back where only a few drunk people were. he sat down and stuck his feet into the water, looking up at me to do the same. the rain had been falling ever so lightly and Daniel must have already drank something..I took off my jacket sitting next to Daniel. wrapping it around him "your crazy" I mumble as he pulled my Jacket closer to himself "tell me..tell me why you act like our parent and not our friend?" Daniel laughed, okay maybe he wasn't drunk. he sounded perfectly fine. "well, I don't know, guess its just the way I am" I said as I watched him move his feet in the water. "so why did you come? you clearly don't want to be here..I can tell" he says as I look up and shrug "cause, I missed you guys" really, I just missed Daniel and his smile..cause I hardly see him at school hes always so busy. "hmm" he nodded and ruffled my hair as he stood up. "want me to walk with you home? I don't wanna stay anyways..plus, I should also get Zachary over there home" Daniel Laughed again as I stood up next to him he passed me my jacket with a sweet smile  "okay, yeah sure." I smiled once I look at Zach who is trying not to fall. "man, he cant take alcohol" Daniel shook his head and chuckled walking away to collect the one and only Zachary Dean Herron and save him from getting hit by a girl. Honestly I didn't think much about this 'walk'
